Ephesians 1:7-17 (Friday)
7 |
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace |
8 |
which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, |
9 |
having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, |
10 |
that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth-in Him. |
11 |
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, |
12 |
that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. |
13 |
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, |
14 |
who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. |
15 |
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, |
16 |
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: |
17 |
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, |
